Words of Encouragement
June - 20 - 2004
Noah was described as a righteous man, blameless in his generation, who walked with God and did all that the Lord commanded him (Gen. 6:9, 22). Can you think of a higher honor? I'm not sure what they will write on my headstone when I pass from this life to be with Jesus, but I surely would love to be worthy of what was said of Noah! How about you?
Let us read Genesis 6:22
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.
Let us go to our heavenly Father in prayer.
Holy God, we fully acknowledge that we are saved by your grace and not because of any great or righteous thing that we have done. At the same time, Father, we surely do want to honor you with our lives and show others the difference your loving kindness makes in the life of your children. Bless us please, dear Father, to be more worthy of the description of Noah.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
